The old school marketing campaign

I found these old drawings in the filing cabinet and thought they were kind of cool. They look like they were drawn sometime in the 50s for the WPTR studio at 1860 Central Avenue in the Town of Colonie.

It looks like there was a lot of Neon, including a speller, which I take to mean the sign would spell “W-P-T-R 1540” and then turn off again.

This was the sign for the entrance to the studio building

I think this is a take-off on the old KHJ sign in Los Angeles.
